RAILROAD RUMBLES.

Mr.. William Gray of the Chicago, Bur
lington & Northern railroad is in town in
connection with the cattle business. The
road he represents runs from st. Paul and
Minneapolis to Oregon, Ills, and Fulton,
Ills. where it joins tie famous CD go
system. thus securing a direct line to
Chicago and St. Louis. The {. b. q n.
has close relations with the Manitoba and
has hauled more live stock from the Min
nesota transfer to Chicago than any other
line. It has a fine roadbed and easier
grades than any other line between the
twin cities and Chicago. It has grazing
grounds for sheep at Mi1lige lille, Ills,
and is thus able to accommodate shippers
the Chicago market.
The charge for grazing is only one-half
cent per head per day. Mr.. Gray is the
second representative of he e. b. u N.
who has been here. thus showing that
Great Falls is attracting the attention. of
eastern roads as an important shipping
point.
The Burlington runs two passenger
trains per day between ST. Paul and Chi
cage, equipped with Pullman sleepers
and the Burlington Route dining cars.
As scenic route it is unsurpassed, as
it runs for three hundred miles along the
banks of the Mississippi. Mr.. Gray thinks
the advantage of having such a road as
the Manitoba make their division head
quarters here, cannot be oyerestlmated
He SAYS it is bound to make Great Falls
one of the largest and most f1%ourishing OF
western distributing centers. The mer-
chants here eau rest assured that the
Manitoba road will always make them
reasonable rates and give them the best Of
service.
Regarding cattle rates, Mr.. Gray says
shippers ought to appreciate the large re
duction the Manitoba has made, especial
lya as they are getting such poor prices, a:
arule, for their stock. As regards time
he saws there has also been a great i'm
provement, a round trip DOW not taking
over ten days at the longest. This effects
a great saving compared with other sea
sons when people had to drive their cal
tie to stations on the Canadian or North
ern Pacific, thereby entailing considerable
delay and expense. Mr.. Gray says tina
$50 cars of cattle will be shipped from
Benton next week.
The first regular passenger train vii
arrive here at 9.25 a. m. OF Tuesday ant
leave in the afternoon at 4::335. The first
class fare to ST. Paul will be $46.15 second
class $3.50. a

Gratifying Opinions by Mr.. Smidt of
Choteau-He Speaks Well OF
the Cataract City.

Mr.. Jacob Smidt, the enterprising mer-
chant of Choteau. is in the city for a few
days. He says, 81 am greatly pleased
with the splendid appearance OF Great
Falls which is clearly destined to become
The commercial metropolis of northern
Montana. 1t does credit to the energy
and enterprise of Mr.. Paris Gibson with
whom Ihave been acquainted since came
to this part of the country. l have not
been here since two years ago, when there
were only a few frame houses. am as
tonished at finding the place SO large and
f~ourishing when l consider the misstate-
ments I nave read regardingit it. find the
city we'll laid out. l find here a
splendid railroad yard equal to any at
Chicago, a grand hotel which is finer than
any in Montana and solid business estab-
lishments like that of Mr.. Mcknight
which would do credit to any city in the
country"
Mr.. Smidt also said, 81 can say for the
people of Choteau that they have friendly
feelings towards this town and are proud
of its success. They are also pleased that
this has been made a county seat and that
YOU are about to have a railroad line to
the Sand Coulee coal mines whence OF
course it will be extended to Neihart."
MI. Smidt added, 81 visited the Black
Eagle falls to-day in company with Mr..
Mcknight, and was greatly struck with
the immense water power there and the
plans for its improvement. Mr.. Mcknight
is a worthy, enterprising merchant who
will do credit to this city. l can say so
confidently as the result of long acquain-
lance" In regard to Councilman Collins,
Mr.. Smidt said that the people of Choteau
were satisfied with the creditable record
which he made at both terms of the legis-
lature. They admire the firm stand he
took in favor of Cascade county and pay
no attention to the malicious attacks
which have been made or him." Mr..
Smidt is on his way to New York whence
he will go to Washington.

The Indian sun-dance, which was held
for the last time by the Ogallalla Sioux
during June, 1883, with its barbarous
and cruel inflictions, is an event of the

MODERN PIANISTS.
some Surprising Statistics Concerning
Musical Compositions.

some Surprising Statistics Concerning
Musical Compositions.
Numerous as are the modern piano
virtuosi, yet few among them have obtained
any extraordinary fame by their pen as
composers. Excepting Liszt. Rubinstein
and Won Bulow, who stand alone in their
art, and who especially on account of their
three cases for nearly half century,, will
extinguish all comparison with the younger
generation, we will at once examine the
most prominent of the pianists of to-day.
Camille Saint-Saens leads undoubtedly the
van; he is veritable colossus among pian-
works for that instrument are not as note
worthy as one would expect from such a
great virtuoso. Eugene d'Albert is writing
some good piano works, but none of great
calibre; Arthur Freidheim, Stavenhagan,
Rummel, Joseffy, Schonberger, Grunfeld,
S, &C., all magnificent players, can ans scarcely a be
veritable new "Tausig," has scarcely one de-
cent musical production, although he has
written forty or fifty piano solos. Anton
Strelezki has lately written some pieces
worthy of attention. The "Etudes de Con-
tSe s1Ro SR s. .a show great EnSIslsdss S
lished by Kistner, Leipzig, which, not
is magnificent work. Moritz Moszkowski,
who Is but little known to the mu-
sical world as a pianist, has written many
fine works, but Of late he is undoubtedly ret
regarding. His aisie-lmprOmptu,"
"Hommage to Schumann," and Moments
Musicale" all early works, stand far above
his latter ones, barring perhaps the three
Grand Studies and the "Barcarolle." Ed
ward Schutt, though not q remarkably bril-
liant pianist, is most talented, but also has
not attempted large works, excepting piano
concerto, which, however, has not yet been
heard. Leschetizky has produced many
salon gems, but latterly has grown lazy, and
consequently has nothing new in the market.
Plante, wonderfully gifted piai.ist, has pro-
duced nothing. Louis Breitner, Ch. Halle,
Siloti, Emil Sauer, ditto.
The outlook for good piano music is, with
out doubt, anything but cheerful, especially
from those who should be expected to be
best qualified to write for that instrument.
In fact, outside of Saint-Saens, Moszkowski,
Scharwenka, Strelexki and d. Albert there 10

Out at Oak View the President and his
young wife came to the conclusion
that it is great deal pleasanter to keep
out of town and the sitting air of
the White House. In his soft, COM
Portable blue jacket, his head bare and
his feet perched at restful angle on
the shadiest porch about the house, the
chief magistrate of the land puts out of
mind the cares of state and enjoys the
companionship of his blithe and charm
ing young wife. Her life this summer
presents an agreeable contrast to the
round of social drudgery at the White
House in the winter. Not at all that
Mrs. Cleveland looks upon her duties as
mistress of the presidential household as
drudgery. She lifts the commonest tasks
above that. But to outsiders who can
put fair estimate on the ordinary COM
forts and independence of life her re-
sponsibilities seem full of hardship. 1t is
not entirely the crushing receptions when
for three or four hours she must stand
and imrersonate the town pump whose
handle Is the common property Of all
corners, but the official dinners where
lists must be made; the private dinners
where confidential political friends of
the President are to be smiled upon; the
regular afternoon receptions for official
society and for the unwashed throng;
to say nothing of the incessant strain on
good nature and good health from
callers who ask for the special favor of
being presented to the First Lady.
Nowadays Mrs. Cleveland expects no
callers, and she enjoys wonderful
sense of freedom. Her toilet now sell
